PEMF Therapy for Horses — Does It Work?

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy — PEMF — has been used in human medicine for decades. Now it's one of the fastest growing recovery tools in the equine world, used by top barrel racers, ropers, and performance horse trainers across the country.

PEMF devices emit low-level electromagnetic pulses that penetrate deep into muscle and bone tissue. These pulses stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Think of it as a deep tissue massage that works at the cellular level.

Horse owners and veterinarians report success using PEMF for muscle soreness, post-competition recovery, arthritis and joint pain, back soreness, and soft tissue injuries. Many trainers use it as a daily maintenance tool before and after competition.

PEMF is non-invasive and drug-free with no known side effects when used as directed. Sport Innovations is one of the leading manufacturers of equine PEMF equipment trusted by professional trainers nationwide.

Ranchline Ranch Supply is bringing PEMF therapy equipment to the I-35 corridor equestrian market. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when our PEMF lineup launches.
